Ann Pretorius and her late husband Peter founded the organization Joint Aid Management (JAM), now known as ForAfrica, in 1984.

For nearly 40 years, they served the organization as co-founders, strategic planners and tireless foot soldiers.

Together they received several prestigious awards, were one of the five finalists for the AidEx 2014 Humanitarian Hero of the Year Award and winners of the 2018 African Ubuntu Award for Social Responsibility.

Following Peter's death in August 2018, Ann took on the role of CEO of JAM Group. Her passion, determination, unique interpersonal skills and vast administrative and marketing experience have helped the Group maintain its pre-eminent position as Africa's largest indigenous non-governmental organization helping millions of people in six countries.
